Shanling Cd player in tv commercial
While watching the Food network at my neighbor's place we noticed there's a bump with a still image montage and one of them, for just a split second, seems to be a turntable of the Gyrodec/Oracle variety. We haven't been able to record it and chec... 
condo owners, how do you appease the neighbors?
Faced with this potential problem, I went the good audio karma/mild coercion route and got my neighbor into high end audio. Then we got his girlfriend into it. They understand when my system is rockin' and I understand when theirs is! 
Insurance question
I have a renter's policy and made sure the agent was well aware that a majority of the coverage would be the hifi (I don't have much else of significant value besides that and my computer). They had me take photos of all the gear clearly showing u... 
EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?

Leasing options for hi-end AV gears?
Might be worth looking into manufacturers with generous trade-up programs. 
Noise-cancelling headphones recommendation
I'm a big huge fan of Grado headphones and don't personally find them uncomfortable--actually, the SR60s with the full foam cups are the most comfy Grados I've tried. They're a bit forward, but they are clean and resolving enough that I take the t... 
A trick with Scotch Whisky
Heya bossman, it's a fine single malt but as far the smokies my palate sure loves Lagavulin. I don't know the first thing about Brandy, lived in the Sconny all my life. Did I miss that memo? I was prolly half retarded on Lagavulin.
